Netwrix offers its 2026 Data & Identity Security Report, which examines how AI adoption is changing organizational security risk.
The report shows that organizations moving fastest on AI adoption reported a 43% breach rate over the past year, compared with 11% among organizations where AI had not significantly expanded identities, automations or access complexity.
The report also explores how organizations are struggling to secure AI-driven identity expansion even as visibility and security maturity improve. Topics covered include:
- Agentic AI security risks and governance gaps.
- Non-human identities and AI-driven privilege sprawl.
- Why faster AI deployment appears to correlate with higher breach exposure.
- What organizations are getting wrong about AI readiness.
- Benchmarking security maturity in AI-enabled environments.
A copy of the report is available here.
